Why is it that the lower ranked npcs drop artifacts/ship mods that can be scrapped for 19-38 ctp in most cases, and are quite literally pathetic when your not rank 100, but when you kill say an XRP warp station, or something of the sort, you get drops that are only worth 3-9 ctp.... sure your going to use a few of them when you first fight them, but look at the differences, korteth crimson carrier, you need about 6K damage to lock.. thats not a whole lot. Then look at the XRP station.. its 65K to lock and its no slouch (im rank 400 and it takes a HUGE chunk of energy to lock it) and then you get crap drops for a few meagre ctp...

I dont want the argument of " you dont HAVE to hit them" because thats not being a team player when your teammate has a BT full of elites he wants finished off.

My suggestion is simple. increase the amount that things get scrapped for( or conversely lower the earlier drops).. there are only so many planets i want to put lazuli mines on or whatever.

i hit them not because of CTP i need those drops... well i dont need energy packs any more... but fuel and buildings are good edition to some nice planets...
higher you get lower ctp scrap value you get... sad but thats what we all deal with... on the other hand you have RTC... 4 shots ctp... how thats bad?

yes, and my posting is in reference to the people NOT NEEDING those drops.
I still need a few of them, but the ones i dont need, i DO scrap. and im not happy with how little the return is for the effort put in.

well... yes i do get upset if i get drop that i dont need... as i said... i just swear hell out of RNG and move on... one of the most annoying is Hive... have all drops for long time... but i do hit it to help clean them up from BT's... returns are just laughable... but there is guys who need those drops... so i just help them, not coz of CTP but just for sake of helping out
